The authors introduce the term "adaptive inquiry" but fail to provide a clear definition. However, I inferred from what they did say that it simply means teachers should design units mixing lessons using direct instruction and inquiry based on student prior knowledge and the content goals they need to teach based on required standardized tests. I feel this is common sense and while I use inquiry as much as possible in my classes, especially as engagement, exploration, and evaluation lessons for the overall unit with direct instruction where necessary to fill gaps in student knowledge. Good article for pre-service or new teachers to review.
